This 100% homemade pumpkin pie tastes like autumn in every bite. Made both gluten free and wheat free with the use of acorn flour, the nutty taste compliments the spices perfectly.
Mix both flours, salt and sugar until well combine. Using a pastry cutter or fork to cut in the butter. Next add 1 Tablespoon of the buttermilk and work into the dough before adding the remaining Tablespoon. Use your hands to distribute the butter and milk until the dough comes together. Don't worry about over mixing as neither of these flours contain gluten. Form a ball, wrap with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
You will not be able to roll out this pie crust, it is very fragile and breaks easily; it has to be pushed into the molds. I advise you to butter the pie or tart molds to help release the pie/tart easier. Simply use your fingers to push and shape into the mold. Place in the refrigerator until ready to use.
